The arrow keys sometimes does not work in text boxes

I have a recurring issue which is really annoying: my left/right arrows (including CTRL + arrow keys) randomly and occasionally do work not when entering text in some text boxes on some Web sites. This never happens in unformatted text boxes 'simple' (Facebook, search fields, this box very I type in...), but unpredictably longer complexes (WYSIWYG editors, new comments youtube...).

I tried to disable all extensions and run Firefox in safe mode and it * seems * have solved the problem, although I can't be sure and I can't isolate which he might be, given that the problem occurs randomly extension: on the same site, it will happen and then not happen.

I'm on Firefox 25.0, although I've had this problem for years with countless versions of Firefox.

The extensions I have installed and enabled:

Like Adblock
Bamboo Feed Reader, dimmer, Download Helper, Drag & Drop Zones, Flagfox FlashVideo Downloader, Flashblock, Flashgot, Grab and Drag, MouseZoom, status-4-Evar, Youtube HD

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit ' (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: Firefox > quit Firefox. Linux: Firefox/file > exit)

In the Firefox Safe mode, these changes are effective:

  • all extensions are disabled
  • Default theme is used (no persona)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored
  • default toolbars is used (localstore - safe.rdf)
  • JIT JavaScript compilers are disabled (javascript.options. * jit)
  • hardware acceleration is disabled
  • plugins are not affected
  • preferences are not affected

    Hello

    Not really clear what you're saying, the problem is that if the keyboard does not work
    Not at all.

    You can use an external keyboard?

    Verifier check in SafeMode - repeatedly, press F8 as you start - it works better?

    -Device Manager - try keyboard control panel - right-click - UNINSTALL and then RESTART your computer
    to refresh the driver stack.

    Check Control Panel - keyboard and find the settings that could affect it.

    Have you changed your language (display or input)?

  • Satellite M40X-286: energy saving and the E - key utility does not work on Vista

    First of all, sorry for my bad English.

    I managed to install Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit on my Satellite M40X-286. Everything works, except for the energy saving and the E - key utility. I tried the added value of packages of other TOSHIBA models, but they all give an error message during the installation. Is there a solution for this problem?

    Now I can't change the speed of the processor and the brightness of my screen, and I can't even adjust these settings in a power mode. The only way to change the brightness is manually using the FN + F6 and F7 keys.

    Kind regards
    Stijn.

    Please don t be crazy about me, but there is no problem at all. The situation is quite clear.

    First: tools and utilities are similar, but in most cases have to be adapted for each laptop model. It may happen that some tools work on the different model of laptop, but this does not mean that he has to work on each model.

    Second important fact is that Toshiba does not Satellite M40X support for Vista operating system and I guess you won't be able to use this tool. In my opinion, it is not so important, because all the energy-saving settings you can find in Vista power options.

    For utility E - key, I don't see a solution. If you use OS not supported, you must live with it.

  • The 10 key pad does not work on my wireless keyboard.

    This just happened.  For some reason any (I don't know if a me or something) when I use the keyboard 10 keys on my wireless (mouse and keyboard microsoft 1000 wireless) keyboard, the keyboard uses only features home, pageup, end, PG. FF.  I do a lot of work in the spreadsheet, and it is very inconveneint for not being able to use the 10-key pad.  Can anyone help me to reset my keyboard so the keyboard-10 is functional?

    Your keyboard has a digital lock key [often just marked NumLock]?  If so based on it does nothing to change the problem?  So that you can address this issue immediately, look at control panel, keyboard to see if there is a way to permanently allow the pad [if that's what suits you] to avoid this problem in the future.

    If it has no NumLock key then this can be achieved by the software & could inadvertently pressing keys that are its hotkey to toggle NumLock key on & off.  You will need to check the manual to see how to set / unset unless what information & control of adjustment are Control Panel keyboard.

  • line of numbers under the function keys keyboard does not work after windows upgrade

    Upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit window Ult 64 bit. Line of keyboard under func keys works not just if online using Windows Explorer, Firefox Safari n - numbers don't work - some type; other type letter k; with the SHIFT key, signs and symbols, type anything. I can get the numbers of t using my keypad and numlock. I have tried 3 keyboards.  One was a Microsoft USB 4000 ergonomic keyboard brand new and it had the same problems.  My keyboard USB wireless transmitter had the problem too.  All have the same problem. The keys are correct by using Word, Wordpad, etc.. Quick test repetition key online as well as the keys were all ok then.

    This started happening immediately after I upgraded to windows 7 ultimate.  I use a desktop HP Pavilion a6667c with 8 GB of RAM and the latest updates available for windows ultimate.   The problem occurred before and after the upgrade to service pack 1.   I noticed other people on the web posting on this problem too.    I got no error message when using Vista Home Premium 64-bit version and had installed all the latest updates him as well.

    The only solution I found to this problem is to build me a small table of characters and symbols, I can't do it, and sticking them in when I am online using one of the three browsers I use most often.   I looked at my keyboard settings and changed back and forth between American and British English British without any result.

    I'll post my problem of keyboard on HP forums as well.   Thanks for any help anyone can give me or leads.   Somewhere, I think that it is a simple problem to solve, but I searched and searched and browsed and traveled for several days to find a lot of people who have this type of keyboard problem, but no solution yet.

    I was able to solve the problem on my computer Microsoft Vista but uninstalling constant guard I had downloaded and installed with free Norton from Comcast. I got this tip on another thread and after followinging their advice, I was free to use my line of numbers/symbols of the keys even once! I was able to close my copy of the email and the character or symbol and the last sheet in Word.

    Key on the keyboard does not work in firefox box when you type in the web site, but it works everywhere else?

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

    Of my knowledge Support Flash Card utility is not related to a specific model laptop.
    On my Satellite a series of laptop I installed Support utility of the Flash card that I found in the section L500 and it worked.

    Try this too maybe you control also the series which is more recent than L500.

    Hi milton the monster.

    Check in Control Panel to see if you have a NVidia Control Panel or ATI Control Center icon. You have will depend on which video card to install on your PC. Click the NVidia or ATI and open Center Control Panel. Look carefully at the options and you should see an option for "rotate screen". Click on it and press the appropriate option to rotate the screen in an upright position.

  • The product key entered does not match any available window images, please enter a different product key

    Original title: complaint of Microsoft

    Dear team,

    Please note that we had bought a laptop Lenovo S 405 of Croma store located at Silver Bow Ludhiana.

    Type of machine:-IdeapadS405APGRTXA84555M4G5008EIN(20196) mode

    Machine Type No.:-59348194

    Serial number of the machine: -.

    Laptop provided with the integrated Windows 8 homepage unilingual, we tried to remove formatting the hard drive & then tried to install Windows 8 PRO that was purchased separately, but the system does not work, system displays a message error that says "the product key entered does not match any available window images, please enter a different product key

    Ask you please help to solve this problem

    Anticipating a quick answer on the same

    Thanking you,

    Yogesh clavreul,

    +

    Hi yogesh,

    This problem could be due to the fact that the product key provided does not match the press which is used to install Windows. The product key that is provided can be a file without assistance, in a. EI. CFG file, in the PID.txt file or in the BIOS firmware. Windows OEM 8 machines ship with the product key in the firmware, and if this product key does not match the press, then you will see the above error message.

    You are able to start after receiving the error message on the screen?

    I suggest you to change the product key to the correct for the media you are trying to install. If the system has a product key in the motherboard (o. a. 3.0 [Activation OEM] provides an OEM product key in the firmware), you use an Unattend file, file (EI.cfg) edition Configuration or the product ID file (PID.txt).

    You can check the link:

    «Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 installation may fail with the error message: the product key entered does not match any of the images available for installation Windows.» "Enter a different product key"

  • Tab key does not work for text input areas in Captivate 3

    I'm building a software simulation of training where I am using text input boxes.  Some use the enter as a shortcut key, some use the tab key.  Those who use the keys work well, failure caption works by forced entry when you press Enter, it advances to the next screen.  Those who use the Tab key does not at all.  The legend of failure does not work and the Tab key does not advance to the next screen.  I compared to those that work and those that don't work and I see no difference.  I set the text entry box to pause at the end of the slide so that it should not be a problem here.  I even tried to have the action 'to success"to be continue rather than go to the next slide and use a click box using the Tab key as a shortcut to move to the next screen - nothing helps!  Is it possible that the Tab key could have been turned off somehow?  I'm totally at a loss, please help!

    Thank you!
